EverSpark Interactive Autism Awareness Scholarship

EverSpark Interactive is proud to launch our Autism Awareness Scholarship. We know firsthand the difficulties autism can be. Two of our staff members, including our CEO, have experienced the devastating effects autism can have on a person and their family.

We understand the challenges autism presents to students affected by it, and know how difficult it can be to consider going to college. With the EverSpark Interactive Autism Awareness Scholarship, we aim to encourage students to pursue their secondary education. In addition, we hope to make it easier on families who want to send their autistic student to college.

We also want to raise awareness for autism by encouraging students to study related fields in college. Together, we can reduce and even eliminate the effects of autism, and we want to help students who wish to pursue a career doing just that. We know that studying such an intense subject is difficult, so we hope the $1,000 scholarship will help students succeed in a real and tangible way.

The EverSpark Interactive Autism Awareness Scholarship is available to achievement-oriented students who meet two key criteria:

You are currently enrolled in or have been accepted to an accredited college or university, AND

You have been diagnosed with autism of any form OR are studying autism-related research at a university.

Additional application details are below.

We believe strongly in creating a world where higher education is accessible to everyone and where conditions like autism are not a barrier to success. We encourage all eligible students to apply and look forward to awarding this scholarship.
